Beaucoup s'interrogent : l'ITC n'aura lancé en février aucune festivité ni même, en cette année bissextile, organisé des célébrations de circonstance. La twittérature est-elle déjà en mode d'évanescence ? Déliquescence prématurée ou actualisation d'une mort annoncée-prévue-souhaitée par ses détracteurs ? Pas de #moisdelatwitterature cette année ? Mais le plus récent concours de tweet fut celui organisé par la Zone d'écriture de Radio-Canada. Et tout ça c’est sans compter les sommes investies par les entreprises pour la mise en place de mini réseaux sociaux privés, accessibles uniquement depuis leur intranet sécurisé où pourraient circuler encatimini des tweets langoureux. Dans le contexte plus large d'un média social dont la popularité ne fait que croître, il est donc légitime de se questionner sur le statut et la forme du tweet littéraire.

Gargalo na sala de aula A precariedade do ensino de ciências desponta como uma incômoda pedra no meio do caminho do Brasil, num momento em que o país ambiciona internacionalizar sua pesquisa científica e é desafiado a formar recursos humanos qualificados em grande quantidade para acelerar seu crescimento. O obstáculo é tangível na série histórica de resultados do Pisa, sigla em inglês para Programa Internacional de Avaliação de Estudantes, exame que testa, a cada três anos, o nível de competência de adolescentes de 15 anos em leitura, matemática e ciências e é aplicado em mais de 60 países. O Brasil participou da prova de 2009 com uma amostra de 20.127 estudantes e obteve uma média de 405 pontos em ciências. O desempenho superou os 390 pontos obtidos no exame de 2006, mas está muito distante do de países desenvolvidos ou mesmo dos emergentes com os quais compete diretamente.

From Smoke Signals to Tweets: How The Evolution Of Communication Is Changing Your Classroom The following post is written by Beth Holland & Shawn McCusker from EdTechTeacher.

Each advance has made it possible for those who master them to go a little further and to communicate a little more effectively. Historically, people who have taken the time to learn these technologies, or develop new ones, have reaped great rewards. Andrew Carnegie was “discovered” because of his ability to use the telegraph – the peak of communication at the time – to unravel a rail snarl that paralyzed his company. Bill Gates invented a way for people to visually interact with data on their computers.
